No one can figure out what is wrong, until one day when the Fat Lady wakes up to find that a slim new figure can be a nightmare. Marie’s creamy, lovely skin is hanging off her bones and she is in intense pain. What is happening to the Fat Lady of Steiner’s Sideshow and will she ever be her old zaftig self again?

Unless your corpse is prepared for burial by Meg Hargrave.

For thirteen years, Meg has prepared corpses at the Peaceful Slumber Funeral Parlor. When she prepares the corpse of a World War II veteran something extraordinary happens. She becomes aware of a task that had been weighing heavily on the man’s mind and she feels compelled to finish it.

Next is a woman killed in a car crash while driving to see her suicidal brother. Meg soon finds herself determined to give him the will to live.
